This week, two columnists, one from the Vancouver Sun and the other from the Globe and Mail, both suggested that Pierre Burton's teenage fantasy about having sex in a canoe was a uniquely Canadian attribute. The columnist who became a naturalized citizen actually thought it was possible and suggested that she was truly Canadian because she had done the deed.
We all seem to have strange views about who is truly Canadian. While we can almost all agree that someone who was born, lived and died here might qualify, all the rest of the population is up for speculation and debate. Maybe this is one of the identifiable markers of Canadians.
Tomorrow, regardless of our views, we get to celebrate all that is uniquely Canadian, eh?
